INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IN
THE VIRTUAL ENTERPRISE:

Managing the Convergence of Internet and Enterprise Data

Why this Course?

The explosion of information technology moves relentlessly ahead; far faster than the typical organization’s ability to assimilate and effectively manage and exploit it. Internet and Intranet technologies have redefined the information environments. This demands a redefinition of information management (IM) and data resource management (DRM).

This seminar is about two things: (1) Survival, and (2) "Thrival"

(1) Survival– not of individual information professionals–but of the enterprise itself.

(2) "Thrival" means not only do those organizations who practice the principles outlined here survive, but they will also thrive: increasing market share and profits while reducing costs and time–to–market.

This seminar describes the core competencies for information management (IM) to make the Knowledge-Age transition.

 

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this seminar, you will be able to:
  • Describe the information resource paradigm that integrates enterprise data with hyper object datatypes
  • Describe the virtual enterprise paradigm
  • Describe IM and DRM objectives for integrating hyper objects and enterprise data
  • Describe distributed DRM roles in the decentralized I/S organization within the virtual enterprise
  • Develop information policy to enable management of hyper objects
  • Develop effective data standards for hyper objects
  • Describe an integrated approach for modeling hyper objects such as for Web sites and Information Kiosks
  • Describe techniques for implementing integrity and security for cyberspace data
  • List major challenges and techniques for managing disparate data
  • Describe steps to transition to information management for the 21st century
Audience: CIOs who desire to transform the enterprise and believe they can; information managers, data resource managers, Web content managers, data administrators, database administrators, data analysts, data warehouse managers and application developers who model, create and manage information resources. Those comfortable with the status quo will find this course frustrating and need not attend.
Format: Lecture with interactive engagement.
Duration:
 2 Days
Pre-requisites: This seminar is of value to those (1) who have had some practical experience with information management and (2) who are open to new paradigms and radical ideas as to how to exploit information in the 21st Century Knowledge Revolution, and (3) who dare to risk.
